Chapter 25: Su Xian
Tasha Xing Chenzhou Hostel
The fog is lost, the moon is lost, and the peach source is nowhere to be found. It can be closed in the lonely hall in the cold spring, and the sun is twilight in the sound of the cuckoo.
Post plum blossoms, fish pass ruler element, build this hatred without repetition. Chenjiang is fortunate to go around Chenshan, for whom does Xiaoxiang go?
There is a mountain here that says: Su Xianling, there is Su Xian Guan on Su Xian Ridge, Su Xian Guan has three main halls, and the palace door has a forehead and says: "The eighteenth blessed land in the world". The main hall is divided into upper, middle and lower three halls, the upper hall is for the statue of Su Xian, and there are side halls on both sides of the main hall. Dengsu Xianguan overlooks, you can see the undulating mountains like waves in the sea, the scenery is ethereal, and the beauty is abnormal.
Qin Shaoyou lyrics, Su Dongpo wrote, Mi Fu wrote "Tasha Xing. Chenzhou Hostel" was engraved on the rock wall of Suxian Ridge, known as the "Three Unique Monuments" in history
-------------------------
There is a small alley next to Suxian Ridge, covered by green bamboo, winding paths are secluded, and there are households at the bottom of the alley. Vermilion Gate Tower, a two-storey three-open blue brick small building is hidden between the bamboo forests in the back mountain, which is an ordinary family who builds houses on the mountain here. There is a green old orange tree in the courtyard, which is full of autumn yellow.
A young man came to the courtyard wall, this young man was tall, wearing a tight-fitting sportswear, with a wide back and a wide chest, no trace of fat could be seen, his facial features were as sharp and angular as a knife and axe, his eyes were sharp and deep, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, but he seemed to be as warm as jade, which was close to people.
The young man hesitated for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "Mom, I'm back..."
As soon as he put down his right-hand sports backpack, a tall and sturdy yellow pastoral dog pounced on him as quickly as the wind, and the young man did not dare to dodge, so he could only parry again and again, yelling: "Huang Xiaomao, don't lick your face......."
The young man is Su Wen, who has recently encountered a series of mysterious events, which has made him anxious, and his work and life are a mess, and he can't tell anyone.
Su Wen simply put things aside, went home to visit his parents, and looked for some clues by the way.
Leave the hustle and bustle of the world for a while, breathe the sweet air of my hometown, look at the scenery that I have been familiar with since I was a child, my mood gradually improves, my chest is a little less sad and boring, and the haze that has shrouded my heart these days has also dissipated.
"Do you still think you're a child? There was a languid sound of disgust in the room. But I saw a woman with a plump body, a dignified face, and a smile on her eyebrows, and walked out with a smile.
Su Wen was stunned for a moment: "Mom, why are you young?"
Su Wen's mother pulled Su Wen, pinched her face, and said with a smile, "Just your sweet mouth, I haven't seen you for half a year, and my son is not a green-skinned guy anymore." Wash your hands quickly and try your mother's craft first. ”
"Seriously, you're young.... Ay?.... What is there to eat, I am hungry as soon as you say it. Su Wen was indeed inexplicable: "Forget about you, a frozen old lady, you have been growing in reverse for half a year, this is too outrageous?"
"Why didn't Coco Zhu come back together?" Su Wen's mother touched her face and said beautifully.
"She was transferred to S City, and she has been busy lately. I went to S City first before I came back..... What about Dad?" Su Wen didn't take chopsticks either, he felt a little hot, so he threw off his coat, saw that the dishes on the table were rich, stretched out his hand and began to feast, and the soup was dripping. By the way, looking at the furnishings at home, as always, there is no change. The table of eight immortals, the long table, and the tea table are simple but elegant. There are no other electrical appliances in the hall except for lamps. The life at home is not bad, but since I was a child, I haven't seen my parents replace these furnishings, and what's even stranger is that these furniture don't change their age.
"Your dad is on a business trip and won't be back until the day after tomorrow. ”
Su's mother came over with dishes and chopsticks, and saw that Su Wen was only wearing a sports vest, his arms were bruised, his muscles were clear and clear, and he was full of an explosive sense of strength. Although he is no longer a professional athlete, it can be seen that he still trains hard. Thinking of his son working so hard, but just struggling to survive, he was about to shake his head and sigh. only to find that Su Wen had a lot of dense and fine white fluff on his arms.
Su's mother was taken aback, her eyes widened and she looked at it carefully.... After a while, something must have been determined, and the gaze seemed to be frozen, and the person froze on the spot. The chopsticks in his hand slipped quietly...... "Bang" white porcelain bowl shattered to the ground....
Su Wen turned around when he heard the sound and saw that his mother was in a trance and uncertain. Hurriedly went up to support my mother. I don't know what happened, and a cold sweat broke out on my head.
"You... Have you been?" Su's mother calmed down, looking Su Wen up and down, and asked anxiously.
Su Wen was asked inexplicably, when he saw his mother's tightly knit brows and the uncontrollable anxiety in his eyes, he thought of the reason for this trip home, and suddenly his heart was blessed, and he guessed what his mother was worried about.
"It turns out... You know about it?"
"Nonsense..."
...........
The two looked at each other and were silent for a while, and Su's mother calmed down a little, and muttered with a little joy: "Why did you go over first? Why wasn't it me? I haven't told you these things yet." I'm the only precious son like you, and you're stupid and don't know anything. I'm glad I'm back safely this time, but what if something happens to you? ”
"So...... You haven't been there, so how do you know?" Su Wen was completely confused by the second monk.
"Your jade pendant is an ancestral heirloom, do you understand the ancestral heirloom? I gave it to you, do you say I know it?"
-- Sure enough, he is as open-minded as Su Wen, Su's mother usually calls Su Wen's open-mindedness "two", and she never thought about who this character inherited from.
"You didn't tell me how to use it?"
"You didn't ask?"
"I don't know anything, what do I ask?"
"That's right, huh... By the way, what's going on over there?"
"What's the matter, it's all demons, killing people everywhere. Su Wen instantly became angry. I almost lost my life, but my mother knew about it, and she never mentioned it.
"You're not done yet?.... It's been hundreds of years, it's so dangerous, don't go again..."
........ Before the matter was clarified, he would not be allowed to go? Su Wen protested with silence.
"That.... Do you want to go?..... Just go for it! Stay safe!"
........ Su Wen continued to be silent.
"It's better to get married first, have a son, and then you go, what do you think? son.... Discuss with Coco Zhu?" "Mother Su is ready to avoid the important and take it lightly. Change the subject.
........ Su Wen saw that his mother didn't plan to explain this matter at all, so he simply remained silent
.....
"What kind of trouble are you going to make?" Su's mother gave Su Wen a burst of chestnut, but her tone softened.
"Don't you think... Should I know something?..... I almost didn't come back this time. You may not be able to come back next time, so you have to be prepared first. Su Wen lowered his eyelids and spoke, it seemed that his emotions were on the verge of exploding.
"Well.... Mom is scared of you. What do you want to know.. Ask.." Su's mother couldn't hide it, so she had to retreat and see how much Su Wen knew before making plans.
Knowing his son Mo Ruomu, Su Wen didn't know what to do, and began to ask a series of questions:
"You know that place?"
"Hmm. ”
"How do you know?"
"Ancestral"
Alas.......... The problem comes back around.
Su's mother is a little proud, this child is still stupid, so cute.
"I don't ask, you didn't tell me sincerely, so what do you think I should know........" Su Wen couldn't fight his mouth, so he could only play tricks with a hundred attempts.
"Okay, okay, you ask slowly. I thought about it and asked again, and I answered seriously. Su Wen's mother didn't know how much Su Wen knew, and she didn't dare to tease him anymore.
"Do you know how to get there?" Su Wen sorted out the various questions and doubts that were chaotic in his head.
"The jade pendant will guide the time and place, and after you go, you can pass by staying still. I don't know exactly what it was like or how it felt, and I haven't been there. Su Wen's mother finally answered the question seriously, but the atmosphere in the room gradually became weird.
Su Wen seemed to have been greatly wronged, and muttered angrily: "I only slowly figured it out by being blind all the way!" If it weren't for my cleverness, I'd still be wandering light years away!"
Su Wen's mother: ..... My son... It's not too stupid
"Then why don't you go?"
"No one has been there for hundreds of years, how can I go?"
"Why have I been there?"
"How do I know....... Uh...."Su Wen's mother saw that Su Wen began to puff and puff again, and hurriedly continued: "Uh..... The opening of the Dengxian Bridge is not stable, and it is determined by the coordinates of the planets, the position of the galaxies and the tides of the elementary particles of the universe, the coordinates sensed by the space beast's telepathy, and the amount of energy required. Sometimes it's impassable for hundreds of years, and sometimes it's easy to get around. Your jade pendant is the demon pill of the space beast, as long as the Dengxian Bridge is opened near you, you can find a place through the jade pendant,... That's what your grandmother told me. ”
Su Wen was dumbfounded: Is this the old mother who has always been a standard housewife except for occasionally helping people grab some herbs? I don't understand what she is talking about....... Who did I inherit from this brain? I don't understand anything. It feels horrible.
Su Wen's mother saw that her son was stunned, and felt that she had won a big victory in this round of confrontation, so she could call it a day and eat.
But I didn't expect Su Wen to breathe a sigh of relief again, like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang Continue to ask: "What is a space beast?" What is Dengxian Bridge? What is the other mess? Su Wen had too many questions in his head, and he was in a hurry, and he began to speak incoherently.
When Su Wen spoke, his eyes were round like a cute lemur, and he was slapped back by his mother, "If you don't understand, you won't ask, who is it like to be so stupid?"
Let's start at the beginning, it's a long, long story... Come on, come on, good son, eat first... After eating, we chatted slowly.........
.......
After the meal, Su Wen's mother made a pot of local tea. This tea is "born in the high mountains, grown in the fog", is the young buds of the eight-sided camellia tree in Guidong County, the cord is tight and finely curled, the head is like a ring hook and even, the color is faintly green and oily, the silver quill shows flash, the aroma is pure and lasting, the soup color is apricot green and bright, and the taste is mellow and fresh. The mother and son sat and drank opposite each other, and when the tea was boiling and steaming, the mother spoke eloquently, and Su Wen listened carefully.
"Let's talk about Su Xiangong first. Su Xiangong's original name was Su Tan, and he was enlightened when Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.
"The Legend of the Immortals", "The Notes on the Water Classic", "The Legend of the Immortals", "The Taiping Guangji" and "The Legend of the Cave Immortals" are all recorded. It was first recorded in the "Biography of the Immortals" written by Liu Xiang in the Western Han Dynasty. Ge Hong (Jin)'s "Legend of the Immortals" is recorded in more detail. "The Legend of the Immortals" see the version recorded in "The Hundred Kinds of Taoist Essence".
There is the term "orange well spring incense" and related cultural relics left in the folk. I have let you memorize all the editions of books and legends. So I ask you, what do you think about this, and what do you believe?"
"I've memorized them all, but to be honest, I don't believe a single thing, it's all superstitious thoughts. In order to promote religious beliefs, it is used to deceive people. Su Wen insisted on saying what he felt in his heart.
"Okay, let me ask you, what is the allusion to "Izumika Tachibana"? Do you think it's credible?"
"The Biography of Su Tan" records that orange leaves are added with a few herbs and well water from orange wells. Cure the plague. Mom... To be honest, I don't even believe in Chinese medicine. ”
"Have you ever seen Western medicine?
"I saw a back injury when I was in college. ”
"Okay?"
"It's getting better slowly"
"Will I get the medicine I put on when I come back from vacation?"
"Oops, it seems to be, my back hurts for half a semester, and people are broken. It seems like it's good to come back. ”
"Do you know artemisinin?"
This knows, Tu Youyou invented artemisinin and won the Nobel Prize, and one word ---- "cow". There is no patent fee, and the people who hang the pot to help the world in the world --- two words. ”
Su's mother was proud: "Artemisinin was inspired by Ge Hong's (Jin) book "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription", hey...", she raised her hand to stop Su Wen, who was about to speak, and continued: ".. Don't accept the bar, check it yourself. I'm not saying that TCM is more... Damn..."Cow". I mean, at least this proves that Chinese medicine can cure diseases, not liars. Isn't that right?"
"Uh.... Well, if you win, you can be cured... Some diseases. Su Wen was still not angry.
"Can Western medicine cure it all?" Su's mother glanced at Su Wen defiantly.
Su Wen felt that he had found a breakthrough: "Isn't it to raise the bar? Who is afraid of whom? Western medicine can do surgery." Haha. After saying that, I suddenly remembered the surgery of a certain prince. Well, let's not talk about that for now.
Su's mother actually didn't have a problem, she felt that she couldn't say that there was no empirical Hua Tuo, right?
The two people completely ignored the things they were discussing, which was actually a more absurd "immortal" problem, and they couldn't convince each other, and the conversation was awkward.
--- Su Wen was slightly defeated in this game, and his subjective distrust of Chinese medicine was slightly shaken.
After all, Su Wen has seen some things, saying that Chinese medicine does not do surgery is a bit weak, and he doesn't want to make his mother angry. With a dry cough, he leaned over and said, "Mom, Chinese medicine is.... Quite yes. You are the contemporary Bian Que, in the world Huatuo. Hey.hey.. I won't carry it anymore, you will continue to do so. ”
Although Su's mother snorted softly... But it's useful. Thinking about flipping through the book to see the evidence of Chinese medicine doing surgery.
"I know how to use the "hanging pot to help the world", and you don't know how to use the "orange well spring incense". It's really a dictionary that forgets its ancestors. Su's mother knocked on Su Wen's head and scolded.
"So, Su Tan's ancestor is a Chinese medicine doctor?"
"Of course. I am also a Chinese medicine practitioner, and in addition to you, our family has been a Chinese medicine practitioner for many generations. If you don't know Chinese medicine, it's not that no one taught you, it's that you can't remember it at all. ”
"Uh.... Am I that stupid?"
"Actually, I didn't want to teach you medical skills, you didn't like to read since you were a child, you only liked to fight. I used to think that it was best if you didn't know anything about it, and I was going to wait until I was dying to tell you about it. Let you wait until you are dying before telling your son. Believe it or not, safety first...."
"Uh.........."
"Anyway, you don't believe in other records, so I won't talk about them, and you can study them slowly in the future. Say something you believe today. Su Tan became an immortal, where did you go?"
"Uh...... Where did you go?"
"And what did he do over there?"
"You don't mean Sue...... Chao?" Su Wen remembered Song Gongzi's words.
"That's right, it's Su Chao. It was still in a period of ignorance, with no written language, a chaotic language, and many tribes. The human power is scattered, and of course it is not an opponent of the demon beast. Life is hard, and diseases are naturally riddled with diseases. Being a doctor is inherently easy to be respected, and the ancestor knows how to heal and knows a lot about things. Everyone elected him as the leader, and from then on he changed to speak Chinese, used Chinese characters, and built a walled city. Once you have built a city in one place, find a few more places to continue building. Slowly, there were more cities, and the Su Dynasty was formed, and after several generations, civilization was promoted to all places where human beings lived. ”
Su Wen was dumbfounded: "And this kind of operation?
Mother Su said: "What do you think? If you are sick, you can be cured, and if you live in the city, you can resist demon beasts." Why do you want to fight? Ancestor Su Tan didn't fight, probably because there were many others!!"
Su Wen is right to think about it, in the period of ignorance, when fighting a war, there are more people is the last word, and if there are more people, they will directly surrender without a fight...
"Su Tan Ancestor, how did he pass the first time?" Su Wen finally thought of the key question.
"You should say that I am a superstitious old witch again, it is recorded in the books that Su Tan was born in response to pregnancy, in other words, he was originally from there. Of course there is a way to go back. ”
When the discussion of scientific issues is carried out with strange theories, the topic cannot be progressed.
Su Wen's mother knew that her son's head couldn't turn around: "Okay, let's talk about Su Chao? Su Tan is respectfully called Su Xian, and Su Xian is called Su Xiangong when he is old." One after another, people were sent back to recruit some skilled craftsmen and literati craftsmen to spread culture, because life there was much better and the life span was longer. Although there are demon beasts, those who go prefer to stay in the local area. There are some people who have learned medical skills and come back to travel and practice medicine, and no one will forbid them. Throughout the ages, there have been immortals to spread skills and culture. This also preserved the inheritance of the throne of the Su Dynasty for more than a thousand years. ”
"I understand that immortals are also human beings, but they do things that others can't understand, or things that are recited by others, and they are honored as immortals. This is the true origin of the immortals. According to the ancient records closest to the era of immortal life, the Tang Immortals of the Tang Dynasty could descend to the tiger at the age of 100, and the oldest Shou Buddha was only 132 years old. We have 9 immortals and 2 Buddhas in Chenzhou, and I have never heard of anyone who is immortal. It seems that the novels of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty have been artistically processed by people with big brains. ”
Mother Su was a little annoyed, Su Wen is this an elm pimple head?
"Yes, Su Mei is called Su Xiangu Ah, my God, she is Xianbei. Su Wen was knocked on the skull, and finally came to his senses.
"Is Su Mei beautiful?" asked Su's mother pretending to be casual.
"Beautiful, that's really beautiful..... Su Wen found out that he was in the middle of it......
Su's mother is deeply proud of her son......... He raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll say one more thing, you have to be calm, don't jump up, don't swear, and remember every word." ”
Su Wen felt that his nerves were already extremely thick. Nodding.
Su's mother first pulled Su Wen to the portrait of the ancestor in the hall and solemnly paid tribute to the incense.
Then sat upright and said slowly: "After the establishment of the Su Dynasty, there have been six large-scale wars, each time it was a fluke to survive, 300 years ago, our descendants of Su Tan obeyed the decree of the ancestors, returned to Su Xianling, and blocked the two places to climb the immortal bridge. And leave a message to future generations, if the Dengxian Bridge is reopened, the descendants must try to block the Dengxian Bridge, otherwise it will ......."
"Otherwise, what?" Su Wen hurriedly asked
"Your grandmother forgot. Su's mother was a little embarrassed, "She is over 100 years old, and it's good to remember this." ”
"What? Grandma was 100 years old when she died?"
"123 to be exact. ”
"What about you?"
"Can you ask a woman's age? Don't tell your father. He didn't know anything. ”
"What do you take to block the Dengxian Bridge?"
"Just remember to use the stones in the pots. ”
"How do you use it?"
"I don't know, there was an ancient book, but your grandmother lost it. ”
"Uh...... I don't have a manual, how can I do it?" Su Wen's head is as big as a fight.
"The fertility of the Su Dynasty is not strong, our family is even more inexplicable, each generation regardless of male and female only has one, but everyone has a long life, your grandmother has been lonely for many years, and it is normal to be lazy. Su's mother thought of her mother and felt a little sad.
Jokes are jokes, but things can't be avoided, and Su's mother began to take this mysterious incident seriously. Try to recall the bits and pieces of memories and let Su Wen record them, lest he miss important matters. Finally, a memo of little use was summed up:
--- must be a person who wears the demon pill since childhood, otherwise he can't go directly and will be riddled with all kinds of strange diseases.
--- people who went to the Su Dynasty would grow white fluff on their bodies
--- Dengxian Bridge passes through one person at a time, and the items brought are limited.
--- guess that the environment of the two places is different, radiation, bacteria, human immunity are different, and the air composition may also be different. In the specific situation, it is also necessary to bring the instrument for careful analysis.
........
After several generations, and experiencing the development and promotion of modern scientific and technological civilization, the Su family slowly regarded this incident as a legend, and there were no events and things to prove it, and then no one took it seriously. A lot of useful information has also gradually dissipated into the long river of history with the passage of time.
The only thing that has been handed down is a basket of stones that I don't know what to do. In other words, the stone was handed down because it could not be sold.
Su Wen had another thing in mind:
Who the destroyed my family?
Who the hell scolded my ancestors?
Don't say much, you have to go back!
Blocking the Dengxian Bridge? That doesn't exist. Isn't it just to help the fanged monsters? It's not that I haven't killed them?
When it came to the enemies of the Su Dynasty, Su Wen was immediately high-spirited and full of confidence.
........ A person's meaningless life becomes meaningful because of the exploration of the meaning of life.
